SENATOR GLAY.
Splendid Bronze Statue To
Surmount Beautiful Mar
ble Design at a Total
Cost of $3,800.
The contract for the monument to
Senator A. S. Clay was awarded Sat
urday to the McNeel Marble Com
%Zy, for $3,800, a remarkably low
ure for the work that is to be
done. The nearness of the plant and
other considerations enabled the com
mittee to make a contract that will
provide a mopument at much below
the usual cost and the memorial to
Senator Clay will be one of the hand
somest in the State.
The committee met at the court
house and all the members were pres
ent except Dr. Middlebrooks, of Pow
der Springs, who was unavoidably de
tained. Those at the meeting were
Col. D. W. Blair, Mr. E. W. Lemon,
of Acworth; Mr. S. Y. Striblifg, of
Roswell; Captain Jake Moore, of
Smyrna; Mr. George H. Keeler, and
Capt. Fred Morris.
There had been subscribed $4,067.60,
with some members of the subscrip
tion committee still to be heard from.
The committee wishes to raise an ad
ditional $250 in order to provide a
fund for the perpetual care of the
monument.
It is expected that the monument
will be unveiled next spring. It was
intended originally to unveil it on the
anniversary of *Senator Clay’s death,
but it is deemed best to not hurry too
much, but to take time and give the
sculptor full opportunity to make the
best statue possible.
The monument will be placed in the
triangle of the Park, between the
band stand and the Park entrance,
" st the court house. The statue
mace the court house, and it will
be the first thing visitors alighting
from the cars will see as they look to
ward the Park.
The monument will be a work of
art, and the people of the county will
take pride in it. ‘There will be a life
size statue in bronze, and the height
over all will be seventeen feet and
four inches. There will be a marble
base with approaches to the monu
ment from three sides, at two of
which will be drinking fountains, and
over these will be electric lights. The
walk-way or platform around the
monument will be eighteen inches
above the ground, and will be 16x16
feet, and have space enough for about
twenty-five persons to stand. There
will be two marble seats, one on each
side of the monument. The base of

This Drug Store Fills
Many Prescriptions &
THE CORRECT TEST ofa drug store is by the
manner in which prescriptions and medicines are
prepared. The public has a right to demand com
petent, conscientious and faithful service in every
instance where life or health is involved.
TO MEET THIS DEMAND has been the constant
effort of this store. How well we have succeeded
is proven by the increase each month in our busi
ness. The number who entrust us with their pre
scriptions and drug store wants continues to grow
larger.
OUR MANY CUSTOMERS appreciate our efforts
to give better service and better drugs, and know
our prices are always fair—even lower than is pos
sible to obtain at any other drug store.

the monument proper will be five feet
eight inches, and on this will rest the
die on which the inscription will be
cut. The die will be two and a half
feet square, and upon it will stand
the bronze statue of the Senator.
The real task is to obtain a satis
factory statue, for what is most de
sired is a likeness of Senator Clay,
which the people among whom he
lived will regard as life-like in fea
ture and in pose. They will wish to
see Steve Clay as they knew him, and
the committee is determined to per
severe until the sculptor has provided
a satisfactory model. The model will
be brought here for criticism and sug
gestions, and will be changed until it
is what it should be. Then it will be
cast and be ready for its place on the
inseription die. The inscriptions have
not yet been written. The price in
cludes the monument complete in
every detail. :
The ease with which this monument
has been provided attests the devotion
of the people of Cobb county to Sena
tor Clay, and their eagerness to honor
his memory with a suitable statue.

District Agricultural School will be

AND COURIER.
MARIETTA, GA., FRIDAY MORNING, JUNE 2, 1911.
COL. B. F. SIMPSON
THE JUDGESHIP.
Will Devote Himself to the
Merchants and Farmers
Bank, of Which he
is President.
Colonel B. F, Simpson will not be a
candidate for judge of the Blue Ridge
circuit. He has so stated to a num
ber of his friends, and confirmed the
announcement when questioned by
The Journal and Courier.
For more than a year there has
been a great deal of talk of Colonel
Simpson’s probable candidacy for the
judgeship. He was, for eight years,
solicitor general of the circuit, and is
a man of recognized ability and of
wide personal popularity. That he
would adorn the bench is universally
recognized, and he is considered about
the only man in the cireuit who could
give Judge Morris a warm race. With
Colonel Simpson out of it, serious op
position to Judge Morris does not at
this time appear to be likely.
Col. Simpson’'s reasons for declin
ing to be a candidate are of a business
nature. He has been elected presi
dent of the Merchants and Farmers’
Bank of Marietta, and will be actively
identified with that institution. He is
ong of the largest stockholders and
has inveséied what most men would
consider a small fortune. He will
tuia away from politics and give
close attention to his business inter
ests and the interests of others con
fided to his care.
From time to time Colonel Simpson
has received many letters urging him
to enter the race for judge, and now
that he has decided the matter, he
has replied to the letters of his
friends. Most of them are c¢ouched in
the following terms:
“Replying to your favor of recent
date, I am pleased to say that I cher
ish your friendly words of confidence
and esteem, and I assure you that
they are cordially reciprocated. 1 ap
preciate all those kind expressions
from the people about my candidacy
for judge of the Blue Ridge circuit,
“1 have given about eight years’
service to the people of this circuit,
and they have always been extremely
kind to me, and I shall ever be grate
ful to them for the hearty support
they have given me in the past, and
for their continued good feeling to
ward me,
“In considering this suggestion of
being a candidate for judge at this
time, I could not get my consent to
enter into a scramble for the place on
the bench. It is a high honor, and
one that carries grave responsibilities,
and the man who attempts to fill the
office should have the confidence and
respect of the bar and of the people
whom he serves.
“It is no small task to administer
justice, and consequently one natu
rally hesitates to assume 80 grave an
undertaking.
“I hope that the people of this cir
cuit will have a man capable of this
high trust, and of fair and impartial
administration of the law and conduct
of the courts that they rightfully de
serve.
“With my best wishes for the suc
cess and happiness of the people who
have honored me, I am,
“Faithfully yours,
“B. F. SIMPSON.”
